Loading ...RCMP says no Conservative bribery, libel suit against Liberal Party still pending
Friday, May 16th, 2008
The RCMP has closed its investigation into allegations that Conservatives attempted to bribe the late independent MP Chuck Cadman in 2005, saying there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Stephen Harper or the Conservative Party.
Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc asked the RCMP to investigate the allegations, and today released the the RCMP’s response. Despite the RCMP findings, Stéphane Dion and other Liberals say they will continue to press the government on the alleged attempted bribery of the deceased MP.

Ok there’s something fishy going on with the PDF the Liberals released of the RCMP letter to LeBlanc. Have a look:
http://www.liberal.ca/pdf/forms/080516_LeBlanc_Letter.pdf
It looks like the Liberals altered the letter before posting it to their website! The date “2008-05-15″ is darker everything else on the page, and the header is out of alignment with the letter body.
Very suspicious, and its just too convenient for the Liberals to reveal this exculpatory information late on a Friday before a long weekend when it got no coverage! Sure the PDF says May 15th now, but I wonder what the original letter looks like? When did the RCMP really send the letter? How long did the Liberals withhold this letter before releasing it to the public?
Someone should look into this …
